surprisingly good analysis in most areas of the discussion. However i don't see how they are going to stop people growing it themselves? A lot of money will go on enforcing taxation and how exactly do you do that when potentially thousands will be growing it?

Prohibition promulgates prejudice, by which I mean that it empowers Police and others to adopt the "lock and load" mentality, their war on drugs is actually the Vietnam war. Police reality programmes most frequently show 12 policemen doing the "dressing-up" in riot gear the dramatic briefing and the destructive entry to someone's home The police will then demonstrate.their ignorance and bigotry before we are told a caution was issued.
